Take 1 launches platform for secure video transcription in the cloud

The Take 1 Cloud integrates with the company’s Liberty platform and will support future integrations with other technology

CRANBROOK, KENT — March 26, 2019 – Broadcast metadata and transcription specialist, Take 1,
today announced the launch of the Take 1 Cloud, a cloud-based, secure by design
platform, developed to provide seamless video transcription workflows to the
company’s worldwide client base. The
platform has been developed in collaboration with an international media
organisation to comply with the strictest security protocols in the
industry.

The
standard features of the Take 1 Cloud enable broadcast and production companies
to use a web-based interface to securely transfer video assets to Take 1, add
comments or instructions for specific projects or media files, monitor the status
of work in progress and retrieve completed outputs. For larger clients with ongoing contracts or
high volumes of work, the platform’s enhanced features automate large parts of
the workflow to provide a low-friction, streamlined experience. The enhanced platform can automatically scan
and transcode clients’ video projects as soon as post-production is completed
and, when transcription or localisation services are requested for these
projects, automatically trigger the associated tasks.

“The Take 1 Cloud is the latest in a series of planned technology developments that will secure Take 1’s position as the leading transcription metadata provider to the broadcast and media industries. As well as streamlining video transcription, the platform will also support future integrations with other systems to provide even more workflow efficiencies.”

Take 1 CEO, Louise Tapia

The
cloud-based platform integrates with Take 1’s underlying metadata harvesting system,
Liberty, so that workflows can be managed more efficiently and with greater
transparency as clients are able to login in and check the progress of their
project. Content security is at the
heart of the Take 1 Cloud’s design and access is controlled by two-factor
authentication, strict password requirements, 12-hour session expiry and repeat
failed login lockouts. Additional
measures used to ensure that content can only be accessed by appropriate
parties and used for prescribed tasks include permission-based access,
watermark overlays and media encryption.

The
Take 1 Cloud will be on display at the NPACT Content Tech Event in Los Angeles
on the 3rd of April 2019 and at NAB 2019.
